Hi,
I have finally bought almost everything I need to use my Sigma FP. The only thing that I am still not able to decide is audio.
What audio setup do you use when you are shooting alone and you love using good sounds while editing? For documentaries, weddings and casual shooting?
I have already bought 2x Tascam DR10-CS for lavalier microphones and I am very happy with that decision.
But what about the "on camera" microphone. What should I get? Just some 3,5mm jack microphone right into the camera (rode etc)? Or get some pre-amp (saramonic, beachtek etc) and plug in some high end shotgun mic? Or get external recorder and have an extra bag with full audio setup on my body? And what if I am concerned about the size of the microphone (the high end shotgun mics are very long - sennheiser mkh-416 for example). And are shotgun mics actually good for one-man band when you can not boom and your microphone has constant direction (wherever the camera points)?
I was even thinking about the Sound Device Mixpre-3 II with mkh-416 or DEITY S-Mic 2S (since I really love playing with sound in my edits) but it is quite a big setup and I have a feeling, that it may be overkill (or not used much because of the complexity of the setup - batteries, cables, bags etc)
Or just buy stereo Sennheiser mke440, plug it right into the Sigma fp 3.5mm jack and take it easy? Are pre-amps of Sigma fp any good?
Or Sennheiser mke440 with Beachtek DXA-Go (Pre-amp with 3.5mm - is it going to be any better?)?
Or Beachtek DXA Micro Pro with xlr shotgun mkh-416 or DEITY S-Mic 2S?
What do you think?
What do you use?
And if you use some set-up what are advantages and disadvantages that you found out?
Do you have photos of your audio setup?
Thank you very much.
